1920's
Satin and Chantilly Lace Wedding Dress
No labels, hand made, couture
details. The hand made silk lace is done in white, and is the most
exquisite lace I have ever seen. Soft and supple, like gossamer. Yet in
incredibly nice condition with no drying at all. The dress is done in a
candlelight beige silk satin. The satin is also in equally as nice of
shape as the lace, soft, supple, clean, no damage at all. Classic 1920's
fitted, drop-waist style with a slightly full skirt. Lace overlay for
just the right touch. Lace trim bodice/neckline, lace sleeves. Pleated
waist treatment, with pleated satin panels down sides of dress. Dress bodice is lined in a fine white silk
netting, skirt is un-lined. Dress is in near mint condition, the only
flaws being small perspiration rings both sides, four tiny brown spots
on one side bow, 4 tiny brown spots on one pannier. The satin and the
lace are incredibly clean, soft and supple with no drying at all. Size small. Measures 14"
shoulder to shoulder edge, up to 34" bust, 25" waist, free hips, 15"

Avenue label. The Salon Moderne at Saks was the couture custom
department. Sophie Gimbel was the custom designer for Salon Moderne,

printed silk chiffon over matching printed silk satin, very fine and

covered in a full length pleated silk chiffon panel, matching the dress
of course. The bodice has tight pleating across the bust, and front to

bodice of the gown is lined in a matching blue silk, the skirt (printed

1940's
Rayon Crepe Dress with Peplum, Pleating and Swag
"Mark - Robbins Original" label. From the late
1940's. I've had quite a few very nice 40s rayon dresses in my life, but
this is one of my top 3 favorites of all time. I love a black and white
print! The rayon crepe is heavenly, very silky, medium weight - almost
like a gabardine. The dress is styled with a scoop neckline and cap
sleeves, fitted bodice and waist. Skirt flares out slightly at the hem.
There are side pleats on the skirt that create a swag or faux sarong
look. The upper left side of bodice next to neckline has a self fabric
knotted rayon flower decoration that is adorable!
The dress is in very good to excellent condition. It has two speck
spots, neither of them easy to find or see. Size small. Measures 15 1/2"
shoulder to shoulder edge, up to 36" bust, 27" waist, 37" hips, 16"
shoulder to waist, 29" waist to hem. For a larger
